Helpful Housewife Tip

In our infinite wisdom, we had purchased an ivory rug for the bedroom, which let me tell you, is filthy. So, I've been battling with keeping it clean since day 1. Being out of carpet cleaner, I was forced to think outside the box (or MacGyver-like as Kim would say) and I thought... 20 Mule Team Borax!! I've been using it in my laundry as of late and it works great so I thought its worth a shot. And it isn't harsh or sudsy so it should vacuum up well... With the use of a stiff scrub brush, a bucket of water, and my borax in hand, I went a scrubbing. I will say it was a little messy and I have to clean the surrounding hard floors now, however, the carpet looks great! Just thought I would share... Off to clean the kitchen!!

Hey, we use that on her cloth diapers too!

A friend of mine has Crohn's and had twins. She was curious what med's you are on - she said she was able to take all of hers during pregnancy.
